Solution for abs(2x+8)=abs(x+4) equation:


Simplifying
abs(2x + 8) = abs(x + 4)

Reorder the terms:
abs(8 + 2x) = abs(x + 4)
(8 * abs + 2x * abs) = abs(x + 4)
(8abs + 2absx) = abs(x + 4)

Reorder the terms:
8abs + 2absx = abs(4 + x)
8abs + 2absx = (4 * abs + x * abs)
8abs + 2absx = (4abs + absx)

Solving
8abs + 2absx = 4abs + absx

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4abs' to each side of the equation.
8abs + -4abs + 2absx = 4abs + -4abs + absx

Combine like terms: 8abs + -4abs = 4abs
4abs + 2absx = 4abs + -4abs + absx

Combine like terms: 4abs + -4abs = 0
4abs + 2absx = 0 + absx
4abs + 2absx = absx

Add '-1absx' to each side of the equation.
4abs + 2absx + -1absx = absx + -1absx

Combine like terms: 2absx + -1absx = 1absx
4abs + 1absx = absx + -1absx

Combine like terms: absx + -1absx = 0
4abs + 1absx = 0
